‘Dewey defeats Truman’: A $2,000 mistake?
(MCT) — CHICAGO — A discovery inside a Texas storage locker has placed renewed attention on an infamous Chicago Tribune edition and its potential value. The original copy of the “Dewey defeats Truman” Tribune from Nov. 3, 1948, was estimated to be worth $2,000 on a recent episode of A&E’s “Storage Wars: Texas.”
Mary Padian and Moe Prigoff, of Dallas, found the newspaper in an abandoned storage locker in Garland, Texas, the contents of which they bought for $800. The find was featured last weekend on the cable show, where scavengers reveal such discoveries and try to determine their worth.
